Abstract:
We have spent a couple of years recruiting, training and engaging community members into elixir. The community has grown and remained active throughout the years since its inception. We believe that expanding the ecosystem fuels innovation, enhances flexibility, improves productivity, enables specialised solutions, fosters diverse communities, and promotes continuous learning
Our goal is to get the community members to be able to compete internationally and also by upskilling so that the Kenyan ecosystem can adopt elixir now that we have more developers using Elixir. We have encouraging results so far :-) We want to share our experience on how we grew this community, what we did - right and wrong and our future plans

A RAG for Elixir
This is the second part of a series of blog find out on using a local RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) system for your teamâs codebase without leaking any code or data to third parties.
In this part, we find out how the LLM (Large Language Model) can read and understand Elixir code and start a conversation about the codebase with the LLM đ€.
An end-to-end ES/CQRS example with EventStoreDB and Phoenix/LiveView
A detailed guide to functional state handling, read/write model segregation and event sourcing built on production experience with EventStoreDB.
It features general awesomeness of asynchronicity and serves as a gateway drug for escaping the transactional fallacy.
Last but not least, it is so long that you can legitimately review it on X with âToo long, didnât readâ!
Thinking Elixir 206: BeamOps - DevOps on the BEAM
In this episode we dive into the exciting release of Elixir 1.17.0-rc.1 and other news from the community.

Stingray: Remote management for firmware development [Nerves Meetup]
A walkthrough of building Stingray, a device for remote management of development kits and prototype hardware. See how Stingray controls a Microchip SAMA5D27 development kit running Nerves, and then learn how the enclosure was injection molded and PCB was fabricated.
đ„ Against the Grain by SaĆĄa JuriÄ | Code BEAM Europe 2023 đ„
This talk tells the story of developing a bespoke Kafka client. None of the existing libraries in the BEAM ecosystem fulfilled the needs of the team, and it was estimated that contributing new changes to those projects would be very difficult. At the same time, writing and maintaining a client from scratch would require a lot of time, much more than the team could afford:

Modeling System with Actors
In this post I try to explain how the actor model can be useful in modeling business-oriented systems or general-purpose applications.
Thinking Elixir 204: OTP 27 and Blend for Lib Maintainers
In this episode we sit down with Marcelo Dominguez, the driver behind the new âBlendâ library, which assists Elixir library developers in testing their projects against multiple versions of dependencies. Marcelo explains the genesis of Blend and the inspiration from the Rubygem âappraisal.â He discusses how Blend tackles the common headache of dependency version clashes and integrates smoothly with CI systems to isolate and report specific compatibility issues. We learn how it works under-the-hood and helps library maintainers more easily keep their promises of supporting a library used in diverse environments. We cover the motivations, complexities, and real-world applications of Blend and more!
The Future Stack
In my talk at GigCity Elixir I touched on this low-latency stack built on Fly IO and friends. I think there is something there and I adapted my talk to a blog post. The talk will be available, probably next week but for now you can read.
